TOUR $1 Main Event Satellite 5 FTP T End 82 1 hand

Well this one will be easy to write up. I didn't make it pass the 1st hand. :-) Which really is ok as I didn't really want to play at the moment anyway, but the 90 person was almost full, and at 5 FTP, well, why not! I had Kd Jc, was in MP2 and the action folded to me. I bet 2 BB 60, action folded to the BTN who went all-in with their 300 chips. I thought about it and decided to call. I didn't necessarily think I had the best cards, but if I was a little lucky I might have two good cards. BTN showed As Qs. At least I had my two good cards. :-) Flop 4c 10c 7c. Wow, I now have a flush draw & the BTN has no clubs!! I felt hopeful. :-) Turn 4s. River 3s. No luck and I'm outta there. Which is really ok as I was just getting the program set up on my 'puter to play some $5 SNG's in a bit after I eat.

BUT WAIT THAT'S NOT ALL. Since I was being hasty when I signed up, I didn't realize what I getting myself into. I made the rash assumption that the "$1 Main Event Satellite" would lead me eventually to a $1 or something tournament. Anyway I decided to check out what I was satellite-ing into. This Satellite had 2 entries into the "$1 Main Event Seat Qualifier" that I could enter for just $1 + .10. Not a biggie win. If I came in 3rd I got 10 FTP points. The "$1 Main Event Seat Qualifier" can have a max of 100,000 players and currently has 16,479 players and takes place 7 days from now. Still no bells rang for me. I noticed this one would have 5 winners to enter into the next tournament, which I thought would also not be much, then I noticed it said that the prize pool for this one is $60,000. WHAT????? So I click to find out what that next tournament is. Well that one the "$12,000 Main Event Winners" tournament. It has 14 winners who will win the $12,000 Prize package and it takes place in 99 days with a max of 1000 players. They win a $12,000 package to the 2010 Main event in Las Vegas!! WOW. Real serious winnings could come from just an investment of 5 FTP points!!! :-)

This is the link to FT's web page with the various events they are running that can end you up with that $12,000 package: Full Tilt Events for $12,000 Main Event Package

And here is the link that describes what that $12,000 package contains:  What is in the $12000 Package?
That's it for now.
